What are custody services?

Custody services typically include the settlement, safekeeping, and reporting of customers' marketable securities and cash. A custodian, or a custodian bank, is a specialized financial institution that holds customers' securities for safekeeping to minimize the risk of theft or loss. It facilitates clients' trading and investment activities as well as corporate actions such as cash dividends, stock dividends, stock splits, or the like.

Why do you need them?
